Israel strikes Beirut suburbs, kills 10 across Lebanon
Mar 06, 2026
Beirut [Lebanon], March 6: Israeli strikes have hit the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, state-run media say, while 10 people are reported killed across the country as Israel's deadline for Iranian officials to leave Lebanon expires amid a wider regional war.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) on Thursday reported several strikes in the early morning on the Beirut suburbs of Ghobeiry and Haret Hreik. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Israel's military had earlier issued forced displacement orders for the suburbs where the strikes were reported, warning it was about to hit what it said were targets linked to Hezbollah. An Israeli army Arabic spokesperson, Ella Waweya, issued new forced displacement orders on Thursday afternoon for the entirety of several southern suburbs, namely Burj al-Barajneh, Hadath, Haret Hreik and Chiyah. Israel on Wednesday gave Iran's representatives in Lebanon 24 hours to leave the country. That deadline has since expired.
